4% a year for how long and what's the cap? What if you never get a job? Any other restrictions? Ps - forgive my shortness I'm on mobile.

It's funny that your second metric appears to be one that many might disagree with. I think PG once said something along the lines of - if every company accepted into YC is raising…

It feels pretty ironic that this article takes a jab at FB with the fake news comment and then NYT, which arguably should be held to a higher bar for pieces like this, gets a pass …

Most board games can be great educational tools. Eg Guess Who teaches logical thinking skills since kids have to think of a strategy to use and a question that will support that st…

The difference is at that point Mark had something worth that much money and had already spent several years building it. If he decided in 1 year he was done he could have probably…

Prison population per 100k isn't the same as criminal record per 100k. It could be that other countries enforce laws differently. Eg if the US has longer sentences on average and l…

I'm not sure how effective it is but I always liked the idea of forcing engineers to use those 3g speeds 1 day a week so they are more inclined to support those customers. Iirc FB …

Google music's radio features (create a radio station from a playlist, song, artist, etc) along with recommendations have had a similar effect for me. I discover new music that I r…

Where I live some real estate companies charge a slightly lower (0.5% less iirc) fee in order to try to acquire more sellers. I would imagine this happens elsewhere, so I have to w…

As a general rule, you shouldn't threaten to do anything you aren't willing to do. So you shouldn't threaten to take another job offer unless you are willing to do it. If you value…

Do they have to? Sync can still be improved a lot, and I think whoever does it best will be able to take over most of the market. Dropbox's Infinite could potentially do that. http…

While I agree that paper is great, I believe this product stemmed for an acquisition of Hackpad, a company with a nearly identical product. I'm not saying acquisitions can't help t…

What you miss are pretty much the only things I do on FB anymore. I'm just not sure why you had to deactivate to make that happen. I guess it has never sucked me in and wasted my d…

Over the last 9 months or so I have slowly moved from never blogging, releasing videos, or doing anything like that to fairly consistently releasing educational articles related to…

Just speculation, but if you are willing to boycott a business for being shitty, you likely aren't going to go out and be a shitty passenger yourself. I'm sure that isn't all of it…

How does this compare to boltdb?

The biggest loser here is likely the Chromecast. I use my phone to push that all the time, but I'm not about to unroot my phone just for Netflix.

While I agree to some extent, if we ever want to get rid of welfare etc and move to a basic income for everyone one of the problems could be people mismanaging their basic income l…

I suspect that the phrasing conveys a lot of the intent here. "We are moving to Minnesota to work on our startup because ..." Or "We are relocating our startup to Minnesota" don't …
